1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys and 1 glory be is a decade

u start the rosary on the cross at the bottom with the apostles creed, then it goes OF, 3 HMs, GB, (OF, 10 HMs, GB)x5 then at the end your should be at the intersecting point between the area u started at and the start/end of the decades, u then do a Hail Holy Queen

i have a suggestion, finish london first.

the experience you'll get from completing one map will save you (and us) a lot of time and effort with the second map.

You will know the process and know what to expect from the Foundry process. You won't have to worry about "zomg, where's the XML coder" in Map Ideas errors, or "uh...why not Idea stamp?" because you'll know what goes where.

things like what colours to use, whether to use roads, airports, rail as connectors, map layout, additional gameplay features. what to do with those sorts of things will come to you much earlier in the process on subsequent maps because you will remember issues you had with previous maps, the feedback you received and how you eventually resolved those issues.
